diced The speaker declined to put the mo-
tiOn or permit debate on the subject. He
said according to previous decisions motion
to adjourn could not be put on o subject re-
specting which the motion stood on the order
book. and that as Sexton had already placed
| motion referring to jury packing. DELL
wyn's motion could not be entertained.
| W. III. Smith moved a discussion Of the
rules OF procedure have precedence over all
orders OF the day. He said the prolonged
| debate ON the address showed the need of
putting some limit to speaking which had
become prollx. lt was now the 10th day Of
the debate, and restraint was needful In or
der to enable the House to carry on practi-
cal business, and save the Parliament from
destruction through abrogation Of its duties.
Labanchere objected to giving a blank
check Of this sort to the government thereby
permitting them to monopOlize every day
with discussion of the procedure rules.
he did not think the government was able TO
effect good legislation. The session ought,
therefore, In his opinion TO be mad9 an edu-
cational session. The best thing the Liber-

ing speeches. Uaughter)
Mr.. Parnell asked the government 10 con-
eede to discuss his proposal for admitting
Irish lease holders to the benefits Of the land
act Of 1881. Under Smiths motion, he said,
IL would be i've weeks before any Irish
| question would have chance 10 be heard.
He therefore moved that the rules Of pro-
cedure be not considered before the govern
ment discloses the nature Of their proposed
legislation forslreland. Continuing, he said
he was not disposed TO surrender the inter-
ests OF Ireland in order to give the govern
ment precedence for their procedure. The
motion had been sprung on the House
suddenly In defence Of the fact that there
were no precedents for such an inter-
ruption Of the debate on the address.
The affairs Of Ireland were in too critical a
condition to be thus put aside. The West
port board OF guardians had just received
notice Of the intended eviction Of 1000, while
Lord Harcourt was asking for police 10 as
| sist in farther evictiOns. Was it at such a
time as this that the Irish members were de-
barred from bringing forward grievances? A
| division was taken on ParnelPs motion and
1t was rejected, 242 against 107.

celved with cheers by the Conservatives.

would begin giving precedence to rules Of

ton OF having dismissed the sub-sherih, who
had compiled the jury panels Tor thirty years
in order TO appoint Capt. Hamilton, who was
a personal enemy Of billions.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach interposing, said
Capt Hamilton had not been appointed sub
sheriff.
Mr.. Dillon replied that II was a matter Of
common knowledge that the post had been
offered to Capt. Hamilton. He proceeded 10
refer to the jury panel when the Speaker

to the Chair, but said he had hardly expected
he would not be allowed 10 refer 10 his be-
ing tried by jury that had been deliberate
ly and maliciously packed by his enemies

ply to Messrs Dillon and Kelly ruled that
the subject could not be referred 10, in
any way. The speaker then suggested put
ting the question on the address
Arthur OCosner moved TO adjourn on the
ground that the Parnellites had not been
fairly treated.
MIR. Smith opposed the motion.
Bradlaugh supported II, saying he sympa-
thlzed with the Parnelites
The motion was rejected, 26l to no After
another attempt had been made 10 continue
the debate on the address the speaker said il
was evidently the sense Of the House that
the subject had been sufficiently discussed

now put"
